Tiger Encounters

A Snowy Treat for Spring!

Straight from the Marcan Tiger Preserve, we now have two cuddly Snowy White Bengal Tiger cubs! Brother and sister: Yeti and Kolkata are ready to pounce & play with adults and children ages 4 and up!

Encounters are available by reservation at scheduled times throughout the day and can accommodate up to 4 individuals per time slot and will be filled accordingly.

Pricing is $25 + tax for children ages 4-12, and $50 + tax for adults, PLUS the cost of regular zoo admission. Children must be accompanied by a paying adult.

Spring 2012 Schedule

April 17th - June 30th* - 10:00 am, 10:30 am, 11:00, 2:00 pm, 2:30, and 3:00 pm.

Encounters for children ages 4-12 will be available through May 28th. After that date, only kids and adults ages 13 and up will be allowed to play with the tigers.

To ensure a safe and fun encounter socks, closed toe shoes, and long pants are required. (It can get HOT here so you may want to bring these with you to change into just before your encounter!)

*We aniticipate these tigers to be available for encounters through the end of June. As they grow, their size and activity level are considered to ensure every encounter is a safe one for both you and the tigers. So, we reserve the right to make any changes to the schedule that we see fit.

We reserve ther right to make last minute decisions regarding group size and location in order to make the encounters fun, safe, and enjoyable for our guests, our handlers, and our cubs.
